Those look great. Are they just tips, or are they mufflers?

Easy install?


BTW, I think those chrome tailight trim things just peel right off... LOL

the trim on the lights cost $125 per side, wat i mean by that is the ligths on the left side, in the back alone cost like $125 so ,for all 4ligths front in back they cost like $600 and there glued on.

I had the 3A tips on mine last summer and they looked great for a few weeks, but they lost some of the shine and the insides began to chip and rust after it rained a couple of times. I returned them and went for 6 months with no tips at all until I finally got some Borlas. More expensive, but polished stainless steel is definitely the way to go and they'll keep their shine for years with a lil' cleaning. I'll post some pics when I get a free minute.

Those look like the same tips I put on my 65 Impala. They looked really good, but were stolen within two weeks (all thief had to do was loosen the bolts). Are yours just bolted on, or did you weld them as well?
